McGwire debuted with Oakland in August 1986, and by 1987, only his second year in the majors, Mark had hit 49 home runs and had a slugging percentage of .618, both leading the American League that season. He also drove in 118 RBIs, was named an All-Star for the first time, and captured AL Rookie of the Year honors. He helped power the Athletics to three consecutive World Series appearances in 1988, 1989 and 1990, and provided the punch for Oakland to win the MLB crown in 1989.
